Nvidia GPUs were benchmarked with the 511.79 driver.AMD GPUs were benchmarked with the 22.2.2 driver.You can read more about this system HERE and check out MSI on the CCL webstore HERE.

We test using the a custom built system powered by MSI, based on Intel’s Alder Lake platform. Based on my playthrough of the game’s prologue and a few of the quest battles, it is generally representative of the performance you can expect in a battle, though some scenes with a particularly large number of units on screen or those in heavy environments, can see lower performance, but the benchmark is still a good representation of the overall experience and it is very consistent too. This just means certain settings won’t be adjusted if the game deems a GPU to have insufficient VRAM to run those settings, ensuring we have results that are all directly comparable.įor the testing itself, I did opt to use the built-in battle benchmark, just because it gives highly repeatable results. In this article we’re testing both the Ultra and the Medium preset, though I do just want to mention I did all of my benchmarks with the Unlimited Video Memory option enabled. There’s a large number of adjustable graphic settings on the Advanced menu though, which we have come to expect from Total War games, so hopefully that bodes well for overall performance scaling, which we also assess today. Starting with a look at the settings menu, the main Video menu lets you set your resolution, adjust brightness and pick one of four presets – Low, Medium, High and Ultra.
